DU QUOIN – A high energy rock concert that will leave you begging for more. That’s what fairgoers will be treated to on Saturday, August 27^th when Cinderella’s Tom Keifer and Sebastian Bach take the Grandstand stage at the Du Quoin State Fair. Keifer is a singer-songwriter who is best known for his work as lead singer for the rock band Cinderella. Today, Keifer and his new band are out touring with new material and featuring some of his classic rock hits of the 80’s.

Rolling Stones magazine calls Keifer, ‘a gritty, bluesy, (rocker) with enough swagger to draw comparisons to Mick Jagger.” Keifer’s vocals are featured in hit songs such as, “Don’t Know What You Got Till It’s Gone,” and “Shelter Me.” Today he’s showcasing his talents in his debut solo album, The Way Life Goes.

Sebastian Bach sold over 20 million records both as a lead singer of Skid Row and as a solo artist. He is best known for songs such as, “I Remember You,” “Youth Gone Wild,” and “18 & Life.” He’s toured with the likes of Motley Crue, Aerosmith, Bon Jovi, and Guns N’ Roses.

Bach’s successes stretch from the Billboard charts to the Broadway stage and the small screen. He has starred in major Broadway musicals like Jekyll & Hyde, Jesus Christ Superstar, The Rocky Horror Show, and appeared for seven seasons on the hit television show The Gilmore Girls.
